“Let’s eat,” Charlotte said with a smile, her mood significantly improving.
As everyone sat down to eat together, Lucille clearly felt as if she was the odd one out.
Cecilia sat with her family, while Sven and Charlotte were seated together, leaving her alone.
Nevertheless, Elliot had noticed Lucille’s awkwardness. He rose from his chair and approached her.
“Ms. Campbell, it’s too crowded where I was sitting. Can I sit with you?”
“Of course, you can.”
Lucille could tell that Elliot was exceptionally considerate.
In the future, I should also have such a sensible little darling of my own.
Everyone was gathered together for a meal. Aside from Lucille and Elliot, the atmosphere around the other two groups was somewhat peculiar.
“Cęci, eat a bit more.” In front of Sven, Nathaniel served Cecilia food.
When he lost his sight, the first person he worried about was Sven. After all, they spent every day together, and Sven was undeniably a good man.
What Nathaniel didn’t realize was that Sven had no interest in Cecilia.
Meanwhile, Cecilia had no idea what was going on with Nathaniel. She looked at the plate of already overcooked vegetables and served him a portion in return.
“Have more vegetables. It’s good for you.”
Nathaniel stared at the vegetables on his plate. However, under the watchful eyes of Cecilia, he had no choice but to eat.
“Alright.”
With a bite of the vegetables, he realized it wasn’t just overcooked but also exceptionally sweet.
Nathaniel had mistook sugar for salt.
Nathaniel slightly furrowed his brows, yet he still forced himself to finish the vegetables.
He could still tell apart salt from sugar. The main issue was that he saw Cecilia and Sven going out together, which left him somewhat distracted. As a result, he carelessly used the wrong one.
“Is it tasty?”
Just moments ago, Cecilia had taken a bite of the vegetables. They were almost perfectly cooked when she left, yet Nathaniel ended up messing up the dish. She wondered if he had done it on purpose.
Nathaniel endured it, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. “It’s delicious.”

“Since it’s delicious, you should have some more.” Cecilia served him another helping considerately, one that wasn’t as overcooked.
Elliot watched as his father suffered in silence. Although he felt a twinge of sympathy, relieved was what he mostly was.
It seems like sc*mbag daddy has truly changed now. It appears I have chosen the right person, someone who would be good to Mom.
“Alright.”
Nathaniel continued to serve food to Cecilia, his gaze occasionally drifting toward Sven.
Sven also noticed Nathaniel’s gaze but chose to ignore the latter, continuing with his meal instead.
He wasn’t sure what was going on with Nathaniel. It seems like he has a problem with me.
Assuming that it was probably because of Calvin, Sven didn’t give it much thought.
Once they finished their meal, Sven got up and left, preparing for Cecilia’s upcoming meeting with Bailey.
Nathaniel found an excuse to leave as well, once outside, he called out to Sven.
“Mr. Sven.”
Sven halted in his tracks, turning back to look at him quizzically. “Mr. Rainsworth, what can I do for you?”
“Let’s have a chat.”
“Alright.”
Sven followed him to a secluded location.
Only then did Nathaniel speak up. “I don’t want to beat around the bush. Do you see Cecilia merely as an ordinary superior?”
Typically, bodyguards wouldn’t directly address Cecilia by name.
Only then did Sven understand why he had sensed hostility from Nathaniel.
After a long pause, he finally replied, “Of course not.”
If he were to say that Cecilia was an ordinary boss to him, he would have left her side long ago.
Nathaniel’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.
As a man, he could tell that Sven’s feelings for Cecilia were far from ordinary. It was not the typical relationship between an employee and a boss.
